Beniamino Gigli: Camden and New York Recordings 1923-25 [ Naxos Gigli Edition Vol 3 / CD - released 27/Jan/2004 ] Beniamino Gigli was in the cast of the first opera I heard when I was seven years old.

Beniamino Gigli: London, New York and Milan Recordings (1931-1932) [ Naxos Gigli Edition Vol 7 / CD - released 28/Dec/2004 ] When the present recordings were made, Gigli had more or less decided to leave the Metropolitan in New York after eleven years.

BENJAMIN GIGLI
Beniamino Gigli: Milan, London and Berlin Recordings (1936-1938) Beniamino Gigli, tenor, with Maria Caniglia, soprano, and various accompaniments [ Naxos Gigli Edition Vol 9 / CD - released 23/Jun/2005 ] By 1936 Gigli was in his mid-forties and what may be termed his third period, vocally speaking.

Beniamino Gigli: New York Recordings (Rec 1927-1928) [ Naxos Gigli Edition Vol 5 / CD - released 1/Mar/2004 ] "A wonderful issue, in all. The use of only two songs, which are used to round off the recital, helps the more substantial feel that the programme has. A very highly recommended snapshot of Gigli as he was in New York in the years 1927 and 1928."... |
